"Herkimer Street Stoop Interviews"

Outdoor Temporary Public Art exhibition collaborate with NYC Parks:
”Herkimer Street Stoop Interviews” by Hidemi Takagi

Herkimer Street Stoop Interviews is an ongoing community arts project with long-term Bed-Stuy residents. I have been working on social-engagement projects since 2015 but had to pause once Covid-19 hit. During summer 2020, I got the idea for this project and interviewed longtime residents while taking their portraits on my stoop.

Viewers can also hear the interviews by scanning the QR codes next to the images.
